Natural Product Synthesis

My group has been extensively involved in the synthesis of structurally novel, biologically active natural products. We have focused on short and efficient routes that use new chemistry for the practical preparation of these targets. Recently completed targets include 7-hydroxylycopodine, 291 phantasmidine,286isotuberculosinol and tuberculosinol,282 maldoxin and maldoxone,289 berkeleic acid,272,275 vibralactone,270 chaetominine,268 platensimycin,264 polygalolides A and B,263 symbioimine,260 jenamidines A1/A2,259 thallusin,258 and SCH-642305.255
